Those Pre-Editing Blues

Happy New Year! Welcome the first episode of the 2018! Kate and Tasha discuss self-editing and how they approach the sometimes painful, but definitely worthwhile process.

• Why is it important to read and self edit your novel before you send it to an editor?
• Tasha's step by step process that includes taking a two-week break from the novel then printing and binding it at her local Fedx Kinkos.
• What goes into a three pass edit?
• Kate opinion on critiques and whether or not reviews are for authors or readers (spoiler alert: they're for readers).
• Series notebooks and why everyone needs them.
